What is Camp Hope?

Camp Hope is a student-run, adult-mentored Christian day camp ministry where campers learn Bible stories and connect with staff. The student leaders are formed with support from adults within the congregation. We provide the training, curriculum and overall structure for you to host Camp Hope in your setting. You choose how many weeks you do Camp Hope, you build your own staff, you choose the specifics of your site. We support you in this process with resources and opportunities to learn from your peers doing Camp Hope across the country.

“Camp Hope has provided me with a loving and supportive environment to learn/teach about God’s love and build connections within my community for 13 years. I will forever be grateful for everything Camp Hope has taught me.”

– Mia Mintz

The benefits of Camp Hope in your congregation:

Campers grow through a day camp experience in which they immerse themselves in a different Bible story several times throughout each day.

Staff gain confidence in their leadership as they learn life skills such as time management, flexibility, and responsibility.

Camp Hope congregations build strong neighborhood ministries and nurture youth who are excited about their faith, bonded with each other, and eager to step into leadership.

Camp Hope is a gift to parents who are looking for an affordable, safe place for their children to spend time during the summer.
